This was a major irritation, since it appears countless times throughout the book and there is no excuse for it!

There is actually a sensible reason for that. The word would almost certainly have been "Ty" where the "y" had a circumflex accent. This is a Unicode character which is absent from many fonts. The "?" is the Sony's way of saying "this is a character which isn't present in my font".
